I have some students who are programming a game and they want to insert a quiz. They are looking at If/Then and If/Then/Else, but wanted to know if there are other ways ---

My students just gave me more info. They want the player to select from a list of sprites as to “who done it”. If they guess wrong, then… If they guess right, then… Any programming help would be appreciated. Thanks! ---

Use arrays! They are basically lists! You can store numbers, sprites, booleans, text, tilemaps, images, and so much more! ---

Using “overlaps” is probably the quickest way to do this! You can have the player control a cursor of some kind with the “move mySprite with buttons” block, and check if the cursor is overlapping the correct quiz answer using this overlaps block: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b622447548d03cc960e74e1145c1234eb9a74e00.png) Here’s an example game doing this: > **[game-quiz](https://arcade.makecode.com/06646-91598-32708-35284)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Alternatively, they could look into using the “Custom Menu” extension: [https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-custom-menu](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-custom-menu) You can paste this URL into the search box on the “Add Extension” page to add it to a project, and it will provide a variety of blocks for creating menus, which could be used to design a quiz. Feel free to post any followup questions here, we’re happy to help! ---

Hi Bruce. I thought you might like to see a quick quiz. Uses - advanced blocks (Text and Function) Ask for Number, Ask for String are under game. The if statements are under logic. For the if statements use ( x = x) for numbers (" " = " " ) for strings in place of True: Link: [https://makecode.com/\_0CcWzVRXWHDw](https://makecode.com/_0CcWzVRXWHDw) ---
